How to Make Beef Baked Beans Stuffed Bell Peppers
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut 4 large bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.
- Blanch pepper halves in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the sautéed vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 pound ground beef to the same skillet and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the sautéed vegetables, 1 (15-ounce) can of baked beans (drained), and 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to blend.
- Fill each bell pepper half with the beef and bean mixture.
- Arrange the stuffed peppers in a shallow baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the peppers.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender.
